Lu Li had planned to let Lord Li do the work and then he would sneak up on them.
Later on, he noticed that Patriarch Four had been on guard, looking for him.
Therefore, Lu Li changed his strategy. He pretended to be Lord Li and asked Lord Li to hide in the distance. Then, Lord Li released a shadow to disguise as Lu Li.
This was a good result!
Patriarch Four and the others had the preconceived notion that Lord Li was just trying to distract them and that the real Lu Li would sneak up on them.
Never did they know that Lord Li was Lu Li in disguise and that this was the real deal.
Truth and falsehood, truth and falsehood!
Lu Li had utilized his skills of assassination to the extreme. He killed three powerful warriors and that King of Soul Beast was very helpful as well. It helped to wound another powerful warrior. The situation had been stabilized.
After Lu Li went into hiding, he sent a message to the three powerful warriors with him. He told them to adapt to the situation and not to act rashly. Their priority was to stay alive and distract the enemies.
They didn't have to kill the enemies, only to stall the enemies.
At the same time, Lu Li sent a message to Lord Li, telling him to stall the enemies and create a chance for Lu Li.
The powerful warriors of the Rhino Apes and the other three alien races were complaining. They were still being stalled by the three Beast Kings.
The two Beast Kings in particular had been badly wounded. They were attacking the warriors in a frenzy. They couldn't run away even if they wanted to. They had to fight the beasts while keeping an eye out for Lu Li.
Soon, Lu Li took actions. He appeared behind a powerful warrior and released flames.
The warrior was devoured by the flames and Lu Li left at once.
Those who were devoured by the flames would be badly wounded even if they survived. Therefore, there was no need to worry about them.
"Run!"
Patriarch Four was trying to find a chance to kill Lu Li but Lu Li was gone so fast that Patriarch Four didn't have a chance to do so.
Patriarch Four knew that the situation was hopeless. If they didn't run, they would all die here.
As he flew, he transmitted his voice, "There must be an exit near the territory of the three Ferocious Beast Kings. Everyone, run for your lives. If you can escape, immediately leave the Endless Ruins of Gods and report to the Clan King.
The Fourth Elder turned into a beam of light and flew away. His reaction speed was fast, but the rest of the experts did not have the luck to escape. Lord Li and the others were restraining them, and with the attacks of the Beast King, how could they escape?
Lu Li made two moves in a row, killing two more powerful warriors and burning two beast kings to death.
The two kings of ferocious beasts had been wounded. They had lost their minds and were attacking Lord Li and the others. Lu Li had to kill them.
Four had died and now three more. Apart from Patriarch Four who had run away, there were only two powerful warriors left. Lu Li didn't worry about them. He used some Divine Liquid of Perdition to kill the Soul Beast King. Then, he sneaked away and flew toward the entrance.
That was where Patriarch Four was heading. Even though Blood Fairy had built some runes to seal off the entrance, Lu Li might not be able to stop Patriarch Four.
Therefore, he left the last two supreme experts to Lord Li and the other three. If the four of them could not kill the two, Lord Li and the others would be too useless.
Lu Li flew toward the entrance as fast as he could. He was faster than a warrior that was infinitely close to the consummate realm.
However, he was still slower than the Fourth Elder. By the time he reached the entrance, the Fourth Elder was already attacking the Divine Inscriptions at the entrance.
"Not bad!"
Seeing that the Divine Inscriptions were still intact, Lu Li grinned. He flew over and took out the Gong Huangding in his hand.
The Gong Huangding flew over quickly and expanded in the wind. The Gong Huangding glowed and fell down. Patriarch Four was suppressed.
When Patriarch Four saw the Gong Huangding, he knew he was doomed.
He didn't struggle. Instead, he was relieved. He had been under too much pressure. Now that he was about to die, he felt relieved.
Lu Li came out. He was cautious. He didn't get too close. Instead, he stayed two miles away from Patriarch Four.
Instead of attacking Patriarch Four, Lu Li asked coldly, "What is your position in the Rhinoceros Race?"
Patriarch Four could not move and it was difficult for him to speak. He replied, "Fight or kill me if you want. Lu Li, you are a man of your stature. You don't have to humiliate me."
"I don't mean to humiliate you!"
Lu Li said coldly, "You must be the leader of the Rhinoceros Race this time, right?
If I am not mistaken, you rank high among the patriarchs of the Rhinoceros Race. "
Seeing that Lu Li didn't want to humiliate him, Patriarch Four replied, "I am No.4. Lu Li, make it quick."
"I don't want to kill you!"
Patriarch Four was confused by Lu Li's words. Lu Li continued, "I don't even want to kill the powerful warriors of the Rhinoceros Race outside. Of course, all the powerful warriors of the three races must die.
I have said it before. I have no intention of making enemies of the Rhinoceros Race. I am indebted to the Celestial Emperor Sect in the Infinite Ruins of Gods. I am only protecting the Infinite Ruins of Gods.
If you insist on attacking, I will have to fight.
I can let you go back if you promise me one thing. "
"Oh?"
The Fourth Elder's eyes flickered and his heart was slightly moved. Nobody wanted to die. If he could go back alive, that would be more than what he wanted.
Promise?
As long as it was not too much, he could promise anything. He could go back alive and then ask their Family Patriarch to kill Lu Li. Promises meant nothing to him.
After a moment of silence, Patriarch Four asked, "What is it? Tell me!"
Lu Li said coldly, "I want you to kneel on the ground, kowtow to me and apologize. You must swear that — you will never be my enemy again. Otherwise, the Rhinoceros Race will be destroyed by the other races!"
"You wish!"
Patriarch Four flew into a rage. Lu Li was here to humiliate him. Patriarch Four had no intention of letting him go.
Patriarch Four said angrily, "Lu Li, do you think I am a three-year-old?
I will kneel to you and then you will kill me?
This old man has never seen such a shameless person! "
"I, Lu Li, am a man of my words and I will do what I say!"
Lu Li said seriously, "I can make an almighty oath. As long as you do as I say, if I don't let you go back, I will be struck to death by lightning."
"Eh?"
Patriarch Four was surprised. Was Lu Li serious?
Kneeling and kowtowing to apologize was shameful but there were no outsiders here. It was okay to do so.
Even though it would affect his state of mind, he knew very well that he would never have the chance to make the breakthrough in this lifetime.
Patriarch Four's expressions changed. In the end, he made up his mind and said, "Fine. Lu Li, make an almighty oath and I will kneel and kowtow to you!"
Without any hesitation, Lu Li made up his mind.
Then, he took back the Gong Huangding and put it in front of him. In this way, if Patriarch Four were to attack him, he could use the Gong Huangding to defend himself. Lu Li could go into hiding and then kill Patriarch Four.
Patriarch Four thought about attacking Lu Li as well. But he gave up when he saw the Gong Huangding. He made up his mind, dropped to his knees and kowtowed to Lu Li and repeated what Lu Li said.
"Very good!"
Lu Li said coldly, "Get lost. From now on, if the Rhinoceros Race dares to go against me again, I will destroy the Rhinoceros Race!"
